They either have to be creative about making those 2 work better together, or the offense has to figure it out. It might just be that Waiters, like Tristan Thompson, are going to be fresh bench guys. |

We aren't trading him. If they trade him, we have zero shooters. I think they are confident in both Jason Smith, and Jeff Whithey, (great pick up) and they just signed Greg Stiemsma today. I think they are fine with their bigs. I love this team right now. A playoff team? Eh, may need a year, but definitely on its way.

I've actually made the comparison before... Waiters is kinda like a Harden with the Thunder. He's great and is better off the bench in the given scenereo... But the game ends with him on the floor. That's how Waiters was at Syracuse when he won 6th man of the year.
Waiters can be a top SG, just like Irving is a top PG. If they coexist its the best backcourt in the NBA.

Waiters is like a combination between Westbrook and Wade. If he just works on his jumper he's one of the elites. Irving obviously is elite at handling the ball, and overall better on offense... But I think Waiters can be the more complete player.

As bad as Dwight was for the Lakers, you gotta feel for the Sixers and Bynum.

Cavs need shooters plain and simple, that will open up the lane for Irving and waiters.

But the biggest thing they need is for Waiters to start hitting his mid-range to outside shots with more consistency. I think Waiters' upside is that he'll be a pretty good slasher, but I don't think he's the type of Guard that's going to be nails on spot-up jumpers. |

Welcome to another edition of Wolves Corner.
I can't figure this team out. Flip clearly wants to acquire shooters (something Kahn was always clueless about) so with the extra space leftover from the Kirilenko opt out, he dances around with letting Ridnour leave and signs... Corey Brewer.... with that money. It's like nothing was learned from the past two frustrating years. In general, a lineup can and often thrives with only one bad shooter on the floor at a time. Martin, Love, and Pekovic are all good shooters (in the percentage of shots that they take, that is... Pekovic is a decent free throw shooter and can hit 10-15 foot jumpers if he needs to). Rubio is still kind of terrible. He's our bad shooter... inconsistent on lay ups, occasionally airballs stuff that's wide open. And then we get Corey Brewer, who only further complicates the logjam at 3. Budinger, Brewer, Derrick Williams (possibly? If Adelman isn't sick enough of his shit). Those are the guys we might have available. More often than not Derrick will be coming off the bench for Love and/or Pekovic if they want to go smaller. Brewer may be the perfect replacement for Kirilenko's defensive capabilities but he's ****ing awful and useless on offense. His on strength? Passing. Which we have Rubio for. It makes zero sense to have Rubio and Brewer on the court at the same time for very long, which hampers the effectiveness of both players unfortunately. We're going to be doing quite a bit of relying on Chase Budinger, which I'm not too keen on. Brewer just isn't a good fit for this team. As much as it pains me to say this, I'd legitimately rather have Ridnour. And I ****ing hate Luke Ridnour. |
